Quotes by Daniel Alef (?)

“Many people considered that no helicopter with real control characteristics could ever be constructed. Other pessimists said that even if you did build a helicopter, no one would need it.” However, the success of Focke and Breguet were silent sirens for the evolution of the helicopter and its future. It was a “wonderful chance to relive one’s own life all over again,” Sikorsky said. “To design a new type of flying machine without knowing how to design it; then build it without really knowing how to build it and then try to test-fly it without ever having flown a helicopter before.”
― Daniel Alef, Igor I. Sikorsky: Big Dreams, Big Planes, and the Rise of Helicopters

“Book lovers, readers who cherish the feel, smell and look of the printed book are concerned about the demise of the printed book and whether they will take to electronic reading.”

“If an experiment fails, then you ought to be careful to find out just why it failed, because the failure may not have had anything to do with the reasonableness of the principle.” ”
